But what if I went to this community college that doesn't dorm, that requires gas/bus/train money, oh and I have to buy books and I have to work full time because you know not everyone has parents, financial aid, blessed with good grades in HS, ideal situations, normal upbringing whatever... And to now have to worry about the corporations taking everyones money for now and later is unacceptable. I wasn't blessed with good grades in high school, I worked hard after being forced to DROP OUT and ended up at one of the top undergrad physics programs in the country. I get tuition stipends to the point where I'm getting paid to go to school, I travel to conferences for free, and a lot of people that I meet are in the same boat as me at other schools after attending BMCC or BCC or Kingsborough. If you don't have financial aid, that's your problem, you should've worked harder so that people like me who worked for everything given to us don't have to hear you whine and blame our successes on our "ideal situations and normal upbringings whatever". I was respectfully reading your post until that point which is where you lost me. PSN: kilojules64 strictly madden. twitter

Sure it's a sad situation and stories, but I have a strong dislike for grown people who dont take responsibility and accountability for their actions. This first post of this thread does nothing but makes people feel like it's ok to blame everyone but themselves for the situation they're in. It's a disgusting enabler. I am where I am DIRECTLY because of the choices I make to day and have made in my past. Every time I post you get a glimpse of Atlanta

I mean its a start but they don't have any real demands or agenda...you can't just oppose something without proposing and developing a superior alternative and ideology.. people should start looking into reality sometime though.these things do matter..the occupy thing is real...I just dont feel like the people on the streets are bout it bout it....yet...at least..

Also if it was true competition and not just following an agenda than maybe our economy would be better or the big picture wouldn't be so shady. I'm not saying this is all for sure but this is what I think of. Last Edited By: kc24688 10/09/11 7:18 PM. Edited 1 time.

I'm not saying this is all for sure but this is what I think of. WHAT. IS. YOUR. POINT? At what point should you place the blame on them? If they did happen to get some kind of bail out, this type of thinking will just find something else to cry about. Grab the steering wheel and take control of your own life, or let them keep driving and shut up. Every time I post you get a glimpse of Atlanta

There is a ruling elite in America and the majority have been treated as disposable for a while. The degree of greed though, until recently, had been manageable. There was enough going around for everybody to pick a job, work 40 years, live, save a little, retire, and die satisfied. However, with cost-reducing (profit increasing) outsourcing and things of that sort, the American working class has been pushed to the brink of extinction. Not because they're no longer around, but because they can no longer work. Unfortunately, they've been so easily taken advantage of for so long that the ruling elite will surely find some sort of seemingly beneficial move to shut this movement up and allow them to find another comfortable spot in mediocrity, and we'll never hear of it again.
